I don't know much about watercooling but those PC specs are great. You've picked some lovely components!! I can't really fault any of it. Only thing worth checking is whether the EVGA 980s will take the blocks you're using.

you want to put 2 360 rads in there. Now it says its possible but i wonder just how close they'll be and if it wont get to tight. Tbh lookin good, make a project log once you get started!

I already checked on EK cooling configurator web site, they are fine

I watched at Tom review of the 780T so many times... He said it is possible a monsta in the roof and a monsta in the front (1 single set of fans), now the problem is putting 2 60mm tick radiator togheter in push pull. That's why I will buy watercooling stuff after putting togheter all parts on air and get the measurements.

Of course I will start a project log. I'm thinking of naming it "OC3D passion", because of this web site I keep my will of doing things always alive.

To be honest, with the fantastic temperature reaches of the new MAxwell cards you could even use low profile rads like the new series EK have released. Of course it wont give you the "beast" effect Aesthetically, but it should help you to save space etc.

Then again you can get away with 1x 360 and 1x240
